All you need to riot grrrl 1980’S - start a counter-culture revolution is a few sheets of A4 paper, a typewriter, a 90’S photocopier, a Sharpie and some old magazines. Zines were fast to produce and easy to distribute. My Life with Evan Dando, Popstar, Kathleen Hanna. In 1993, Bikini Kill’s Kathleen Hanna created a visually raw mock-psychotic fanzine … to explore violence, objectification, misogyny and the politics of creative success… inspired in part by rage and horror at the anti-feminist [Montreal] mass … [murder]”. A VOICE FOR “Slant no. 5, Mimi Thi Ngyuen, 1996. ANYONE & riot grrrl was criticised for failing to be truly inclusive, or EVERYONE transcending its status as a predominantly white, middle-class movement. But there were riot grrrls of colour, who in classic punk style seized back the conversation on race. Zines such as Slant, Bamboo Girl, Evolution of a Race Riot and Chop Suey Spex refused the identity, as Ngyuen puts it, of ‘voiceless victims or objects-to- be-rescued of white punk anti-racist discourses’.” “ALIEN SHE”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp-VI9KUvBw Especially since COVID-19 there have been more internet VIRTUAL ZINES enabled podcasts and visual zines e.g., https://creativecloud.adobe.com/discover/article/read-these-10- unmissable-zines-to-get-through-2021 https://www.indigenousaction.org/podcast/audio-zine-voting-is- not-harm-reduction/ Cleaning out the basement of our house ‘we’ found hundreds of rolled up large wall calendars from 2009. With much difficulty and the help of a large heavy carpet I unrolled and flattened some of them. I folded them into zines, cutting a slit in the middle of the WASTEPAPER page and then reopening and flattening them to paint. Themes emerged about recycling, reusing and repurposing paper, creating less waste and being imaginative with what we have. FOLDING PAPER - Origami Senbazuru: 1000 Cranes https://www.kyuhoshi.com/origami/ FOLDING PAPER - HOW TO FOLD AND CUT A ZINE https://www.vice.com/e n/article/d3jxyj/how-to- make-a-zine-vgtl fold and cut your zine … My physical community since COVID has been mostly limited to my neighbourhood. With a Bridgehead Coffee at one end of our block and a locally famous ice cream shop Merry Dairy at the other end, we see many strolling families, couples and groups of friends MY COMMUNITY passing by our house on sunny days. Putting out free objects and books that might be of interest to passersby has become a pandemic family hobby. Last summer we distributed many books, toys and stuffed animals in this way, and cleared many cupboards and bookshelves. Lying Down As I took my daily walks in spring rain, snow, wind and sunshine, I saw green appearing, buds blossoming, birds returning and insects awakening. I took photographs of bushes, trees, flowers etc. that WALKING AMID would make good subjects for the background wallpaper NEW GROWTH painting I do on each zine. These photos are reproduced dimly (with filter) in this presentation before the relevant painting. I sketched and painted loose spring images of tree blossom, dandelion fields, rock and garden plants in water-soluble crayon and paint. Sunbeam Through Crabapple Blossom This research creation project offers free, hand painted zines to passers-by in an Ottawa neighbourhood to learn whether there is interest in taking and completing them, and how participants use the zines. It involves social engagement in preparing a gift for strangers PURPOSE OF and offering it to them to complete as they wish. PROJECT It is intended as a gesture of kindness and solidarity and socially distanced community engagement at a time when social interaction is still somewhat limited by pandemic constraints. It provides an opportunity to participate safely and creatively in a celebratory spring community art project as we start to emerge from pandemic restrictions. Magnolia on a Cloudy Day Transform the tightly rolled up wastepaper scroll into a flattened sheet. Fold it meticulously into the format of a zine. Sketch and paint rough nature scenes in unsaturated MULTIPLE LIVES watery colours. FOR OLD PAPER Put the scanned, printed, folded and cut wallpaper zines on the curb in a box with the invitation to take one and use it in some way. Invite participants to let me know what they do with it. Dandelions Time, resource and pandemic constraints make it difficult to get ethics approval or complete a more complex project, so the social engagement aspect of the project needed to be light. The curbside offering is entirely voluntary with passers-by being free to ignore it or engage and take a zine. If anyone writes to me, I will request their permission to use ETHICS APPROVAL information they have shared, excluding any that would identify them, in my reporting on the project. My Concordia University Abbreviated Summary Protocol Form for this aspect of the project was approved. I document the project with text, photographs and scans, taking notes of any interesting information and reflections gathered during the project. Apple Blossom Over The Canal … BUT IS IT SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART? https://medium.com/kickstarter/ten- artists-on-what-social-practice-means-to- them-9cae0a0f1364 https://www.facebook.com/baronessvonsk etchshow/videos/is-it- interactive/771264153747051/ https://www.on-curating.org/issue-25- reader/socially-engaged-art-in-the-1990s- and-beyond.html#.YFoyINKSmUk Aesthetics: From social to fine art aesthetics. The initial image is aesthetically pleasing and invites unknown additions by unknown participants. Role / function of the artist: From facilitator of co-creation to primary creative agent. I facilitate the project by setting it up and inviting passers-by to take and use\decorate a zine. Origin of the artist: From the community or a stranger. I have lived here for many years and feel we share a common interest in our ON CURATION unpretentious, lovely, walkable neighbourhood. Definition of the “work”: From process as “the work” to a final product as “the work.” My work is done when I release the painted zines into the neighbourhood and people take them. The work continues in whatever the recipients decide to do with the zines. Direction of influence: From inward to serve the community or outward to reach others. The project is a gift from me to the community to encourage creativity and good feelings. Woodpecker Tree Origination of the work: From generated within the community to generated by an outsider. This is generated by me in and helped by my physical and virtual communities and continues to evolve in the hands of any passer-by who takes a zine. ON CURATION Place: From work that is inseparable from a place to work that is not geographically specific. The project is geographically specific …continued to my street in Ottawa but could be conducted anywhere. Issue: From single-issue to addressing multiple issues. The issues are simple and uncontroversial – recycling, solidarity, gratitude for community and creativity, nature and the delights of spring, Duration: From a one-time project to a commitment over many years. This is a spring project to be set up on a sunny weekend but is repeatable. Wisteria The paper was very curly, difficult to flatten, fold and use for artmaking. I needed a large work surface because the sheets of paper were so large. I enjoyed working quickly and boldly to cover such a large area. PHYSICAL The idea of making free art also meant I did not want to CHALLENGES & spend hours and hours on each work, but art sets its own OPPORTUNITIES pace. Each took 3-5 hours to complete. The original water colour paintings were crunchy, textured, delicate and unstable from the crayon and paint used, making them less practical as a drawing or writing surface for the next artist to use, suggesting the idea of making copies. Rhododendrons Presentation of photographic and painted images virtually in Powerpoint without compromising the work is tricky! Taking photographs and scans was difficult because of variations in the light from dull and rainy to sunny days and LOGISTICAL the wrinkly state of the painted zines. I learned a lot about light’s effect on colour but ended up CHALLENGES & getting the scans done professionally. OPPORTUNITIES This opened up the possibility of making multiple copies and repeating variations of the project. To manage printing costs, I made 2 large copies (24 X 36 inches) and 10 smaller copies (11 X17 inches) of each of the 10 paintings. Creeping Flox Over Rocks “Spring Zine-ing to the Curb and Beyond Art Making, Sharing and Completing in the Neighbourhood as we emerge from the COVID-19 Pandemic Please take one of these free, hand painted zine booklets made THE INVITATION with recycled paper, and make something with it e.g., make a greeting card, write your own zine, a private journal, a poem or a love letter, decorate with drawings, stickers or collage. If you would like to tell me what you did with the zine, please write to me at … with the heading Finished Zine. Photographs of the finished zine are also welcome.” Poppies In Ontario the long, harsh lockdown was somewhat lifted at 12:01 a.m.

  • 'Race Riot' Within and Without 'The Grrrl One'; Ethnoracial Grrrl Zines
    The ‘Race Riot’ Within and Without ‘The Grrrl One’; Ethnoracial Grrrl Zines’ Tactical Construction of Space by Addie Shrodes A thesis presented for the B. A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2012 © March 19, 2012 Addie Cherice Shrodes Acknowledgements I wrote this thesis because of the help of many insightful and inspiring people and professors I have had the pleasure of working with during the past three years. To begin, I am immensely indebted to my thesis adviser, Prof. Gillian White, firstly for her belief in my somewhat-strange project and her continuous encouragement throughout the process of research and writing. My thesis has benefitted enormously from her insightful ideas and analysis of language, poetry and gender, among countless other topics. I also thank Prof. White for her patient and persistent work in reading every page I produced. I am very grateful to Prof. Sara Blair for inspiring and encouraging my interest in literature from my first Introduction to Literature class through my exploration of countercultural productions and theories of space. As my first English professor at Michigan and continual consultant, Prof. Blair suggested that I apply to the Honors program three years ago, and I began English Honors and wrote this particular thesis in a large part because of her. I owe a great deal to Prof. Jennifer Wenzel’s careful and helpful critique of my thesis drafts. I also thank her for her encouragement and humor when the thesis cohort weathered its most chilling deadlines. I am thankful to Prof. Lucy Hartley, Prof.

    Allison Wolfe Interviewed by John Davis Los Angeles, California June 15, 2017 0:00:00 to 0:38:33 ________________________________________________________________________ 0:00:00 Davis: Today is June 15th, 2017. My name is John Davis. I’m the performing arts metadata archivist at the University of Maryland, speaking to Allison Wolfe. Wolfe: Are you sure it’s the 15th? Davis: Isn’t it? Yes, confirmed. Wolfe: What!? Davis: June 15th… Wolfe: OK. Davis: 2017. Wolfe: Here I am… Davis: Your plans for the rest of the day might have changed. Wolfe: [laugh] Davis: I’m doing research on fanzines, particularly D.C. fanzines. When I think of you and your connection to fanzines, I think of Girl Germs, which as far as I understand, you worked on before you moved to D.C. Is that correct? Wolfe: Yeah. I think the way I started doing fanzines was when I was living in Oregon—in Eugene, Oregon—that’s where I went to undergrad, at least for the first two years. So I went off there like 1989-’90. And I was there also the year ’90-’91. Something like that. For two years. And I met Molly Neuman in the dorms. She was my neighbor. And we later formed the band Bratmobile. But before we really had a band going, we actually started doing a fanzine. And even though I think we named the band Bratmobile as one of our earliest things, it just was a band in theory for a long time first. But we wanted to start being expressive about our opinions and having more of a voice for girls in music, or women in music, for ourselves, but also just for things that we were into.

  • REFORMULATING the RIOT GRRRL MOVEMENT: GRRRL RIOT the REFORMULATING : Riot Grrrl, Lyrics, Space, Sisterhood, Kathleen Hanna
    REFORMULATING THE RIOT GRRRL MOVEMENT: SPACE AND SISTERHOOD IN KATHLEEN HANNA’S LYRICS Soraya Alonso Alconada Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU) [email protected] Abstract Music has become a crucial domain to discuss issues such as gender, identities and equality. With this study I aim at carrying out a feminist critical discourse analysis of the lyrics by American singer and songwriter Kathleen Hanna (1968-), a pioneer within the underground punk culture and head figure of the Riot Grrrl movement. Covering relevant issues related to women’s conditions, Hanna’s lyrics put gender issues at the forefront and become a sig- nificant means to claim feminism in the underground. In this study I pay attention to the instances in which Hanna’s lyrics in Bikini Kill and Le Tigre exhibit a reading of sisterhood and space and by doing so, I will discuss women’s invisibility in underground music and broaden the social and cultural understanding of this music. Keywords: Riot Grrrl, lyrics, space, sisterhood, Kathleen Hanna. REFORMULANDO EL MOVIMIENTO RIOT GRRRL: ESPACIO Y SORORIDAD EN LAS LETRAS DE KATHLEEN HANNA Resumen 99 La música se ha convertido en un espacio en el que debatir temas como el género, la iden- tidad o la igualdad. Con este trabajo pretendo llevar a cabo un análisis crítico del discurso con perspectiva feminista de las letras de canciones de Kathleen Hanna (1968-), cantante y compositora americana, pionera del movimiento punk y figura principal del movimiento Riot Grrrl. Cubriendo temas relevantes relacionados con la condición de las mujeres, las letras de Hanna sitúan temas relacionados con el género en primera línea y se convierten en un medio significativo para reclamar el feminismo en la música underground.

CCRMA Stage The Knoll, 660 Lomita Court Stanford, California 94305-8180 *** A trio of punk feminist pioneers – a musician/songwriter, a musician/author and an award- winning journalist and author – visit Stanford for a performance panel of music, spoken word and commentary revealing the roots of the punk feminist movement and asserting its relevance today. The “Riot Grrrl” movement took off in the Seattle/Olympia Washington area in the early 1990s and Allison Wolfe of Bratmobile was there. A decade and a half earlier, Alicia Velasquez, a.k.a. Alice BaG, fronted the seminal East L.A. punk band The Bags. Veteran journalist and author Evelyn McDonnell has witnessed all the important alternative and underground scenes in which women have played key roles during the last three decades. Between the three of them there is deep knowledge of Chicana punk, the Los Angeles “new music” scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s, the trials and tribulations of women in the music industry (McDonnell’s recent book tells the story of the 1970s “girl band” The Runaways), and a generation’s worth of feminist cultural production.

  • Killing Ourselves Is Not Subversive AM
    1 This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Women: A Cultural Review on 16 July 2015, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09574042.2015.1035021 Abstract: This article draws on material from the riot grrrl archives at New York University’s Fayles Library to examine the culture of ‘zine’ production in US riot grrrl communities during the 1990s. After investigating the relationship between the political issues and aesthetic strategies explored by riot grrrl literary producers, I analyse the points of tension arising within the movement which become illuminated by zines’ revelatory confessional modes, or what Mimi Thi Nguyen has called riot grrrl’s ‘aesthetics of access’. I subsequently enquire after the implications for riot grrrl politics of understanding experiences of oppression and transgressive behaviour as cultural commodities. Finally, I go on to trace the commodification of the transgressive feminist gesture in mainstream popular culture and contemporary US online feminist activism. Biographical information Emily Spiers is a Research Associate at the Department of European Languages and Cultures at Lancaster University. Her doctoral thesis explored modes of popular contemporary feminist writing in the US, Britain and Germany. She is currently researching feminist literary activism in relation to spoken-word poetry.

  • How to Take Care of Unruly Archives
    How to take care of unruly archives A conversation with Lisa Darms, editor and archivist of The Riot Grrrl Collection Lucie Ortmann (Essen) During the 1990s, members of the US American feminist movement Riot Grrrl articulated their message not only in punk rock, but particularly in multimedia fanzines and flyers, which they hand-lettered, drew, then copied and stapled and distributed themselves. These publications came out irregularly and they often lack dates or numbers. The book publication The Riot Grrrl Collection (The Feminist Press 2013), edited by Lisa Darms, presents a plethora of printed matter previously only available in local and limited editions to a new, broader audience. Alongside the reproduction of entire zines, excerpts and flyers, the book also includes samples of letters, hand- written lyrics and drawings, all presented in roughly chronological order. The size of the printed matter and other pieces of writing, sketches and drawings is adapted to the pages of the book – this makes the size of the individual documents more uniform, which helps legibility, but also subdues differences at first sight. © Lucie Ortmann: How to take care of unruly archives | MAP 9 (Mai 2018) | www.perfomap.de 1/10 Fig. 1-3, Flyer [The Revolution starts Here and Now…].
